IGN Has posted their review of the upcoming Prince Of Persia game. Set to release on Dec. 5th, this Prince Of Presia will be unlike any of the originals. With different combat, to a whole new story and most notably, the cell shading.

Final Score=9.3/10

Forget what you know about the Prince of Persia series. Let go the Sands of Time. Release your Warrior Within. Ubisoft Montreal has created a new Prince, in a new world, with a new female companion and a very different design philosophy. The longer you hold on to the style of last generation's Prince of Persia, the harder it will be to master the new one. Embrace the change and you're likely to fall in love with the new Prince (or at least his lovely companion).

When we meet the new Prince, he hardly seems princely at all. Little more than a smooth-talking thief, the Prince gets lost in a sandstorm while searching for his donkey, Farah. Of course, this is no ordinary sandstorm. This mystical phenomenon transports the Prince to another land, one seemingly made more of myth than reality. It's here where he fatefully runs into Elika, a beautiful barefoot descendant of a clan sworn to guard the prison of the evil god Ahriman. As bad luck would have it, the two meet just in time to witness Ahriman's release from his prison inside the Tree of Life. His escape releases corruption across the four areas of the world. This corruption will spread further unless the Prince and Elika can heal the infected lands. And so begins your adventure.

    8 hour game? Bawww...

    It got better than I would expect but I think I'll just rent this one at first since its so short. Visuals look awesome though. Best I've seen since Uncharted.

    Good score, I personally don't like the graphics like some of the people. 10 hours isn't that bad, I remember God of War being 9-10 hours on average.

    I think I'll wait til its cheaper before I buy this.

    I'm surprised at the good reviews this is getting, considering its one on one combat system, relativly short length and new art direction I thought that this would be scoring 8's at best.

    Seeing the gameplay, I like the graphics a little more, but they're still weird to me :-/. I'll get it when it's cheaper and used, so I can beat it and take it back and get my money back.

    It looks pretty cool... I'm not sure if it really deserves the 9.3 but it does looks interesting. I bet the second one is going to be much better since they are know aware of their only problems, hopefully.
